[LINK] ATO still to sell ABN's for $20 [was Re: VP Gore policy speech on privacy

Bob (and Linkers)

Regrettably the plans announced by Michael Carmody indicated that the $20 
ABN extracts the ATO will be selling will include the name of the ABN 
contact person in a company, the designated email address and of course, 
the company postal address.

My question still stands. Can anybody help me with details about where to 
apply to purchase these extracts, what proof of identity might be required 
etc...
